A Lesson on Vanity.

1--WE men may BIO shrewi disguisers
of our little vanities," said man who
wore the air of philosopher, "but
the shrewdest of US fail to hide them
entirely. Just sit here and watch the
people," he continued, addressing a
party of friends who sat smoking in
the rotunda of q large hotel, ''and we
shall see some betrayal of vanity from
nearly every one who comes along.
See that old fellow glance at himself

at his own features, his eye softcns and
an expression of fondness settles upon
his face"

Adventure Of a Farmer I'm Indian
Territory.

A letter from Vinita to The 81. Louis
Globe Democrat says: Art Barker. who
resides twenty miles north Of this
place, has fully satisfied himself that
the great and good Saint Patrick could
have found IN abundance Of work
In his line in the Cherokee nation. A
few days ago Barker concluded to burn
an old brush pile on the warm side
of the hill 1t was close to ledge
of rock, which sheltered 1t from the
north wind. 1t would be good place
to SOW tobacco seed for an early crop.
The brush heap had not half burned
up when Kissing sound was heard un-
der the rock. Itgrew louder and more
of it until at length snakes head sud
denly popped out from beneath the
rock. 1t drew back moment, and
then out shot an immense blacksnake.
fully ten feet in length. 1t fell fairly
across the blazing heap, and for a
moment there was a terrible commo-
ton. The reptile writhed and thrash
ed in its fury and almost screamed
in its Kissing agony, while the Goals
and burning sticks were thrown in
blazing showers around. 1t was a ter
rifle and novel sight; but 1t was soon
ended, and the reptiles fat kindled
anew the cracking flames. Barker
was wondering If that was the last
of the show when another hattened
head peeped ont, from the rock. Its
eyes blazsd with fury, as If maddened
by the disturbance. AS though impell-
by some powerful force behind rattle
snake as large as a mans leg sprung
into the air and fell co-whop! en- the
burning heap. Great Scott! but didn't
things hum for about half a minute!
Barker says t was more fun than cir
Gus. The strus giles OF the RATHER scarce
ly had ceased when out jumped anoth-
err, and another. until they came toe
fast to be counted. There We're black
snakes and red snakes. green snakes
and gray snakes, spotted snakes and
striped snakes, and-snakes! 1t SEEM
ed like it was nothing but snakes under
that rock. The first dozen or two died
in the fire. but after that they began to
get away-the fire was smothered oui
and Barker hopes they will never
come back. Where they went he
doesn't know-he did not follow then
to see.

Senator Edmunds received q letter
lately from little Savannah girl who
had read in a newspaper that he had
ways OF his own for making soups and
calvesfoot jelly. She wrote to him
for information, enclosing sprig OF
jessamine, and got the following reply:
"Dear Little Miss: have your note
with the pretty iessamine flowers.
With the trustfulness OF youth you
believe what the newspapers print,
but they have misled you in this in
stance. | do not know how to make
soup or calvesfoot jelly. sometimes

.Russia's Famous Gems.

In the early part of the present cen
fury the attention of biologists was
directed to Eastern Russia as proba-
BILE diamond region on account of its
resemblance, in some of its natural
features, TO Brazil. A few years later
these gems were actually discovered by
Humboldt and Rose, on the west side
of the Uralian chain, in the gold-bear-
ing alluvium on the banks of the River
Adofskoi, several feet above a stratum
containing fossil remains of the nam
moth, which has led some eminent
scent SITS to conclude that the diamond
of this region was formed since the cX-
termination of this gigantic mammal
Since their first discovery these prec-
ious stone, have been found scattered
along the western declivity of the
Urals, but not in large numbers rs in
the mines of South America and South

Electrical Phenomena.

At one time it was very hard for me
to believe, indeed, that any person
living possessed such power as being
able TO shuttle across the carpet Of
room, and light the gas as it issued
from the jet of the burner, by simply
touching it with the tip OF the finger |
have at present, however, two friends,
at least among my acquaintances. who
seem to be capable of pre- .orming this
feat at all times. AMI under any cir
cumstances. Now, / find similar
phenomena exhibited TO very high
degree in my own person, at Fort Win
gate, New Mexico. This point is over
5000 feet above sea-level; the only
water in the nejghborhood is a small
pond-a puddle, really-and a few in
significant springs. The air is usually
clear and highly rariied indeed, all
the conditions seem TO be favorable to
the exhibition Of electrical appliances
Only the other day, while pacing my
room, passing. as | did so, each time,
over large wooden Nava 10 blan ket
that lay spread out on the floor, cir
cumstance arose which called upon
me to touch the cast iron urn that
ornamented the top of a small wood
stove in the apartment, and which had
a fire in it at the same time. Before
the tip of my index finger touched it,
hx-a ~ Of ft1l
there was displayed in the intervening
space a brilliant electric flash, accom-
panied by report that could be distin-
city heard in the adjoining room above
ordinary conversation. The expert
ment was repeated three or four times,
but the display became more and more
feeble with each trial; it regained its
original force, however after paced
across the blanket on the floor few
times. Additional experimentation
went to show that this electrical dis
charge was considerably greater from
the tip of the index finger than from
any of the others of the hand, gradu-
ally diminishing in regular order as
we proceeded to the little finger; and,
further, it is seemed in my case more
evident in the left index rather than in
the right one When all ten finger
tips were drawn together and then
brought up to within a centimeter's
distance of this stove.urn. the flash and
report appeared no greater than ii did
from the index finger alone. Science
